I got a notice from FedEx: my four pound package (what four pound package?) was on its way from Massachusetts (why and who on earth?), sent by…
Blink.
At, and then the name of the company, Consolidated Affiliated Amalgamated Multi-Brand-iated and oh yeah we bought out that company too since you ordered from them. Didn’t recognize the corporate name either. I have no clue.
But the human name up top, that was my aunt’s name and she lived in Massachusetts for years. There are not a whole lot of Rosemarys around, much less one with her last name to go with it. (Okay, I just checked at howmanyofme.com and there are fifty-two in this country. Who knew.)
But notice I put my mom’s older sister in the past tense. Man, that concussion seemed even more spacey-making for a minute there.
